This Week's THURSDAY Tasting

Bruno Rocca Barbaresco
March 1, 2018

Peter writes, "This week we have a very special tasting. Luisa Rocca, daughter of the eponymous Bruno, will be here to lead us through some of the excellent wines of Bruno Rocca in Barbaresco."

 

Luisa Rocca  

 

He continues,

This is an amazing estate and this is something you will understand clearly when you taste these wines. Bruno, daughter Luisa and son Francesco are Italian wine making royalty.

The estate sits on top of the Rabaja vineyard. The family also has holdings in some of the other best vineyards in Barbaresco, including Curra and Valeirano. I would say that Bruno is a tireless visionary. We will have Luisa tell us the story about the reason a feather quill is the symbol of the estate.

We will have special pricing on the wines for the day of the tasting.
